Jake Paul has alleged Tommy Fury rejected $15million for a rematch before he agreed terms with Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n

Paul<\/a> announced on Monday that he would fight Joshua<\/a> on December 19 in a stunning heavyweight clash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was one of many options ‘The Problem Child’ considered after his planned November 14 clash with Gervonta Davis<\/a> collapsed.<\/p>\n

One of those was Fury<\/a>, the Briton who beat Paul in his only ever professional defeat<\/a> in February 2023.<\/p>\n

The pair have always teased a rematch, but negotiations have repeatedly failed to materialise.<\/p>\n

In the most recent instalment of talks, Fury’s father, John, came out in public to suggest a more suitable offer would need to be presented to secure his services.<\/p>\n

Paul, at the time, ridiculed his financial demands and vowed to move on.<\/p>\n

And in a new update on negotiations, the 28-year-old from Ohio suggested Fury rejected $15m for the clash.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul takes swipe at Tommy Fury over $15m offer<\/p>\n

“Respect due to all the fighters that said yes,” Paul posted on X<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We had to put all options on the table and make a decision. Guess who didn\u2019t say yes, even for $15million.<\/p>\n

“B**** made you and your father, who controls everything you do. You are not a man. You are a boy. Daddy\u2019s little boy.”<\/p>\n

Hours later, ‘TNT’ hit back on social media, revealing the reason why he turned Paul’s rematch offer down.<\/p>\n

“Offering me the fight in America\u2026 a place you know I can\u2019t get to right now. Convenient,” Fury Fury wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Offer me the same $15million anywhere else in the world and I\u2019ll be there in eight weeks to shut you the f*** up and repeat what I did the first time.<\/p>\n

“And \u2018daddy\u2019s little boy\u2019? If anyone\u2019s a son here, it\u2019s you\u2026 I gave you your first L.”<\/p>\n

Not long after Fury’s response, Paul uploaded a video to his YouTube<\/a> channel and listed several huge combat sports stars he had considered before saying yes to ‘AJ.’<\/p>\n

“Canelo [Alvarez]<\/a> \u2014 injured, Francis Ngannou<\/a> \u2014 scared, Floyd Mayweather<\/a> \u2014 my brother beat him,” Paul said.<\/p>\n

“Mike Tyson<\/a> \u2014 done that, Lennox Lewis<\/a> \u2014 too young, Ryan Garcia<\/a> \u2014 easy work,” he added.<\/p>\n

Paul then named Fury, saying the Briton wanted more time as the reason both men never agreed to a fight.<\/p>\n

He proceeded to clear up why his fight with WBA lightweight champion Davis<\/a> was cancelled.<\/p>\n

“For everyone talking about the ‘Tank’ fight, here’s the truth,” Paul explained.<\/p>\n

“He had a past of many arrests and accusations, but everyone has a past \u2014 we accepted that.<\/p>\n

“But when you bring the past into the present with (alleged) domestic violence, you are out.<\/p>\n

“The reality is Gervonta fumbled the biggest bag of his career and ruined a relationship with [Netflix].<\/p>\n

Derek Chisora reveals plea to Anthony Joshua in private messages over Jake Paul fight: ‘People will be annoyed’ – exclusive<\/p>\n

“Make no mistake, this is the biggest fight of my career. I’m walking into the lion’s den.<\/p>\n

“I’m doing something that no one else has ever done before.”<\/p>\n

Paul then vowed to knock out and embarrass Joshua when they come to blows six days before Christmas at the Kaseya Center, Miami, live on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul has alleged Tommy Fury rejected $15million for a rematch before he agreed terms with Anthony Joshua.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[111370,6565,2560,111377,106003,6102,111380,111376,111373,111379,59643,111375,111374,6566,111378,111371,111383,20440,111382,101,18140,111372,111369,56,54,55,111381],"class_list":["post-270580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-15-million-offer","tag-anthony-joshua","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-drama","tag-boxing-headlines","tag-boxing-news","tag-combat-sports","tag-contract-dispute","tag-fight-collapse","tag-fight-negotiations","tag-fury","tag-fury-vs-paul","tag-influencer-boxing","tag-jake-paul","tag-jake-paul-accusation","tag-jake-paul-claim","tag-jake-paul-vs-anthony-joshua","tag-joshua","tag-paul-joshua","tag-sports","tag-tommy-fury","tag-tommy-fury-response","tag-tommy-fury-vs-jake-paul","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-youtube-boxing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
